Demi Lovato isn't drawing little hearts around Luke Rockhold's name, but they are hanging out

Since splitting from her longtime love, Wilmer Valderrama, Demi Lovato has been linked to several men, including MMA pro fighter Guilherme "Bomba" Vasconcelos, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. and UFC superstar Luke Rockhold — but it's only Rockhold who seems to have made an impression on her.

A new report from E! News about Lovato's love life reveals that she and Rockhold have been spending more time together, but it's still far too early to be giving the couple cute nicknames. A source told the publication, "Demi is hanging out with Luke. It's pretty new and fun at this point. She likes being around him." However, the source was also quick to note that Lovato "just got out of a serious relationship [with Wilmer Valderrama] so she is not looking for something that serious but if something evolves naturally over time she is willing to go with it and explore it."

While rumors of celebrity relationships are nothing new (we tend to take them all with a pinch of salt), if there is some truth to this one then Lovato and Rockhold make a pretty sweet pair. She reportedly "thinks Luke is a cool dude and he makes her smile" — and if there's one quality you want in any relationship, it's someone who can make you happy.

While Lovato is unlikely to be gushing about Rockhold in an interview any time soon, she has been spotted out with him — most recently at the Los Angeles Rams football game — and an E! News source claims that during their recent outing, "it was obvious there's a connection between the two."
